What could cause swellings with mild pain on the sides of the tongue?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern.

The location of the tongue you are referring to consists of many taste buds which are leaf-like and elongated. Sometimes hypertrophy of the taste buds can be seen. They present as swollen painless eruptions; however, they usually subside on their own. And, it seems that they are hypertrophies of the taste buds. They can be due to any stimuli, such as a tongue bite injury. So, do not worry about it. However, I would like to know a few answers,

1. How long have they been there?

2. Do you have pain while eating any spicy foods?

3. Are these swellings hard or soft?

However, I suggest you to have a dental check-up at your nearest dental office to rule out any possibility of pathogenic disease. In addition, I suggest you to maintain good oral hygiene.

I hope this has helped you.

Kindly follow up with the answers.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Since how many days are these swellings present? These seem to be hypertrophy of the taste buds. This can occur due to a tongue bite while chewing food. But these will subside on their own. However, I suggest you to visit the nearest dentist for an overall examination and to rule out any other problems.

I hope this has helped you.

Take care.
